New enlarged and revised edition edition with numerous colour plates and just over two thousand pages. More than just a cookery book, Mrs. Beeton's guide is an encyclopedia of useful information on all aspects of domestic life. Chapters of interest include table decoration, treatment and payment of servants, medicine for children and the disabled, basic legal problems and their resolution, homeopathy, design and organisation of the nursery and much more.

The former colonies are represented with separate chapters on Australian and South African dishes. This book is sure to equally please those with an interest in cookery and British social history respectively. Unusually thick large octavo; viii, 1998 (last blank) pages + advertisements, colour frontispiece and 31 full-page colour plates, hundreds of black & white plates. Binding lightly rubbed yet in remarkable condition for its age and nature, internally clean and unmarked. …
